No!

I read someone's review and agree they could have taken this movie to some many different place but failed. This was a hot mess that you could not make heads or tales out of. It was like the director said hey, let put a bunch of unwatchable moments together and make a movie out of it. For me I love a good witchcraft/horror movie but this one just came up short. I had a better time watching "It takes three" at least it was funny.

Don't understand the good reviews.

I didn't expect this movie to be great. But I thought it would at least be entertaining, or have something that it would build up to. It starts out OK, but it just kept getting worse as it went on. I hoped that the ending would make up for all of this, but instead it had a terrible ending, if you would even call it that.

Yes, we really need to do something...

We need to do something about every Tom, Dick and Harry with a video camera thinking they're capable of making a watchable movie.

We need to do something about vanity producers creating and enlisting shill accounts to pile praise onto their monstrosities through fake reviews and ratings.

Wasted potential

Had the potential to be really creepy (like the good boy scene), but sucky ending and cheap effects..

Missed Opportunity

It's good and unique but also flawed. It has a dark crazy atmosphere with some disgusting and disturbing scenes. Story at first seems intriguing but then gets stupid. The mom's performance is bad. All in all, it's a fun original indie horror but it's full of nonsense.

Trivia
According to the screenwriter Max Booth III, he has a cameo in the film as a human toilet - painted and crouched - and Pat Healy sits upon him for a second in the form. If you blink, you will miss it.
